When it comes to engine power, the Dodge Charger's base trim definitely races ahead of the Ford Fusion. The Charger comes with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 292 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Compared to the 175 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque that come with the base engine for the Fusion, the Charger is the obvious choice.

Both the Dodge and the Ford achieve over 30 mpg on the highway, making them both affordable choices for drivers looking to save money on fuel.

Both sedans come with a standard first-row LCD screen and Bluetooth compatibility. However, the six-speaker audio system in the Charger adds to your overall experience behind the wheel.
